There are many perks when working at a boarding school. These are just some out of many:

​

  • School Trips (Most if not all boarding schools pay for staff to chaperone on school trips. (e.g. free admissions to Disney World, Paintball, Camping, Travel to a Foreign Country, etc.)

  • Free Lunch (Several schools want staff to be involved in every aspect of the boarding school community), so lunch is on them.

  • Great Benefits (Health, retirement, life insurance, etc.)

  • Free Room and Board (Yes! you read correctly. See below how this is a HUGE PLUS!)

​

REMEMBER THAT WORKING WITH STUDENTS AND SEEING THEM BECOME SUCCESSFUL GLOBAL LEADERS IS PRICELESS!
